Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams chicken breast
  • 1 cloves garlic minced/crushed
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 200 grams Baby spinach enough for 4 serves
  • 250 grams pumpkin cubed
  • 100 grams Danish feta cheese I prefer Danish
  • 50 grams Pine nuts
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil dressing
  • butter for cooking

Method
 

  1. Slice the pumpkin into small cubes then steam until soft but still keeping its shape
  2. Slice the chicken into small strips then season with garlic, paprika, salt and pepper
  3. Cook the chicken until it has only just cooked through (so it's not too dry)
  4. While the chicken and pumpkin is cooking, wash and dry the spinach and place in a salad bowl (you may choose to wilt it slightly in the steamer)
  5. Put the chicken, pumpkin, feta and pine nuts into the bowl with the spinach. Toss lightly and season with olive oil, salt and pepper.
